The first thousand three hundred and forty-five chapters are ignorant of Xibo Hou
It can be said that Fei Zhong did not dare to delay at all from Xiqi to Chaoge, but he arrived at Chaoge City in just a few days.
Standing outside Chaoge City, Ji Chang looked at the towering city wall, his eyes fell on the open city gate, and his heart was full of thoughts.
The hexagram shows that this line of Chao Ge is his destiny, so he came.
It's just that Ji Chang can't judge the good or bad fortune of this trip, even if he is proficient in the Zhouyi Bagua. He can predict everything in the world, but it is very difficult to calculate himself.
Being able to calculate his destiny means that his divination skills are far superior to ordinary people.
After glancing at Ji Chang, Fei Zhong chuckled and said, "Master Marquis, Chaoge City has arrived. Please come into the city."
Ji Chang put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, nodded slightly towards Fei Zhong and said: "Master Fei, please!"
When Ji Chang appeared outside Chaoge City, Di Xin had already received the news from the clairvoyant and Shunfeng Er.
"Let Ji Chang come and see me!"
As Di Xin's order was conveyed, Ji Chang, who had just entered the city, was soon brought into the palace.
As the waiter walked into the palace, Ji Chang was quite confused. Emperor Xin summoned him into the palace and met him alone. He didn't know what was going on.
When he saw Di Xin from a distance, Di Xin was sitting there handling government affairs. He seemed to hear footsteps. Di Xin looked up and when he saw it was Ji Chang, he nodded towards Ji Chang and said, "So it turns out.
The Marquis of the West has arrived, please take care of yourself first, and I will talk to the Marquis after I have finished handling the government affairs."
Ji Chang quickly bowed his hands and said, "Government affairs are important, so I'll just wait here."
After almost tea time, Di Xin finished handling all the government affairs and ordered the waiter to carry out the bamboo slips with instructions in bundles, and then turned his attention to Ji Chang.
Although Emperor Xin told him to do what he wanted, Ji Chang dared to wander around with Emperor Xin aside, so he could only stand there respectfully, waiting for Emperor Xin to handle government affairs.
"It is my fault that I have allowed Uncle Xi to stay for a long time."
Ji Chang said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Your Majesty is your Majesty, and Ji Chang is just a minister. How can you be worthy of your Majesty's words? It's really embarrassing for your ministers."
Ji Chang pretended to be loyal and fearful of his old ministers. Suddenly, Di Xin shouted at Ji Chang: "Ji Chang, you are so brave!"
Ji Chang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Di Xin with confusion. He obviously didn't understand why his attitude suddenly changed when he was fine just now.
In his impression, Di Xin could not be said to be wise and mighty, at least he was not the kind of capricious and tyrannical king. This sudden change of attitude left Ji Chang confused and he could not figure out what happened.
thing.
However, Ji Chang came to his senses and said in panic: "I am scared. I don't know what I have done wrong. Please make it clear to me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xin saw Jichang's reaction in his eyes. If it were other princes, they might have been so frightened that they would have prostrated on the ground and begged for mercy, but Jichang looked neither humble nor arrogant.
Staring at Ji Chang, Emperor Xin said slowly: "Before the king went to Daxing, he told me that Ji Chang, the Duke of the West, had a disloyal heart, but the lonely king didn't believe it. The teacher also said that Ji Chang, the Duke of the West, had a reputation for being a virtuous person, but he was actually a person with evil intentions.
, I didn’t believe it all, but when I saw it today, I realized that what my father and teacher said was true.”
Hearing Emperor Xin's words, Ji Chang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He threw himself on the ground and cried bitterly: "I'm wronged. I'm wronged. I, Xiqi, am loyal to the king from top to bottom. Why should I not be loyal to you?"
heart..."
Emperor Xin approached Jichang condescendingly and said, "Is that so? But why did the news that the solitary king received was that everyone in Xiqi only knew about you, the Marquis of Xibo, Jichang, but not about me, the great merchant king?"
Ji Chang opened his mouth to tell the difference, but Di Xin flicked his sleeves and did not give Ji Chang a chance to defend himself and said: "Come here, please take Ji Chang away and execute him on another day."
"What!"
Ji Chang's body softened and he looked at Di Xin in disbelief. He never thought that Di Xin would deal with him so simply and rudely, without giving any evidence, and directly ordering someone to kill him without going to court.
Take him and choose a day to execute him.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on? Could it be that this is my destiny?"
When Ji Chang was dragged down in a daze, he suddenly raised his head and shouted at Di Xin: "Faint Lord, you killed a loyal and virtuous minister in vain, and your bad name will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Emperor Xin just sneered when he heard this. Chu Yi once said to him that history has always been written by the victor. The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as he becomes the final winner, no matter how it is recorded in history, it is not left to chance.
The winner controls.
As the news spread that Xibo Hou Jichang was thrown into prison and was scheduled to be executed on a certain day, it only took half a day for the news to spread throughout Chaoge City.
It has to be said that Xibohou Jichang's hard work over the years to build his reputation as a virtuous person has had a great effect. Suddenly, people in the market were overwhelmed by the injustice suffered by Xibohou.
In the palace, Di Xin looked at Bigan, Shang Rong, Huang Feihu and other ministers in front of him with a pale face.
"Are you all here to intercede for Ji Chang?"
Although he had known for a long time that Ji Chang was on good terms with many important officials in the court in Chaoge City, when he actually saw Bigan, Shang Rong, Huang Feihu and others coming to see him, one can imagine the shock in Emperor Xin's heart.
Fortunately, the rumors among the merchants in Chaoge City have not reached the palace yet. If Di Xin knew about the reaction among the merchants, I am afraid that Di Xin's reaction would be even greater.
Seeing Di Xin getting angry, Bigan, Shang Rong, Huang Feihu and others couldn't help but look solemn.
With a slight cough, Huang Feihu said to Di Xin: "Your Majesty, I am not here to plead for Ji Chang."
With a cold snort, Di Xin stared at Huang Feihu and said, "Since you are not interceding for Ji Chang, then tell me why you came to see me."
Huang Feihu opened his mouth. He really came here to plead for Ji Chang. After all, Ji Chang was well-known. Although he did not have a close relationship with him, he would not anger Di Xin because of Ji Chang.
Huang Feihu just didn't want Emperor Xin to get a bad reputation for cruelty because of Ji Chang. Who gave Ji Chang a reputation as a virtuous person? If Emperor Xin killed Ji Chang, in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, he who killed a virtuous minister must be a tyrant.
Compared with Ji Chang's reputation for many years, Di Xin has not been a human king for a long time and has not left a deep enough impression in people's hearts. Killing Ji Chang at this time is really nothing to Di Xin
Good thing.
Bigan and Shang Rong looked at each other and saw Bigan opening his mouth to relieve Huang Feihu: "I don't know why the king wants to kill Ji Chang. If Ji Chang deserves to be killed, I will never stop him."
Di Xin snorted coldly, stared at the people and said, "You all listen to me, Ji Chang has a disobedient heart, Xiqi wants to raise an army to rebel, you think Ji Chang should be killed or not."
After hearing what Di Xin said, Bigan, Shang Rong, and Huang Feihu couldn't help but be silent for a while. If Di Xin said that other princes had the intention to rebel, they would never agree, but if it was Ji Chang, it was Bigan and Shang Rong.
Such a loyal minister would not dare to defend Ji Chang.
It is true that Xiqi's momentum is too great, and Ji Chang's reputation as a virtuous man has flourished in the land of Xiqi to the extent that it has eclipsed the name of a human king. This is no longer what a so-called virtuous prince should do. I really want to say that Ji Chang
If they didn't have any intention of rebellion, maybe they could still believe it, but if the princes along the Xiqi route had no intention of rebellion, even Bigan and Shang Rong wouldn't believe it.
After understanding why Di Xin wanted to kill Ji Chang, Bigan, Shang Rong and the others could only sigh secretly in their hearts. If they really killed Ji Chang because of this, they would not have wronged Ji Chang.
Sighing softly, Bigan looked at Di Xin solemnly and said: "Even so, if the king wants to kill Ji Chang, he can kill him quietly. Why do he have to make such a big fuss? In this way, I'm afraid he will turn Xiqi against him.
.”
A flash of light flashed in Di Xin's eyes and he said slowly: "I just want to force Xiqi to rebel. If they don't rebel, I will feel uneasy."
No one is a fool. Di Xin has spoken to such an extent. If these people had not understood Di Xin's intention, they would not be able to sit where they are now.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Feihu's eyes flashed with high-spirited fighting spirit and said, "Has the king really decided to eradicate Xiqi?"
Di Xin snorted coldly and said: "You are not stupid. You know that I want to force Xiqi to rebel and take the opportunity to eradicate this scourge of Xiqi."
Shang Rong stroked his beard and said slowly: "The king's move is indeed a clever move. It is expected that the land of Xiqi is definitely not ready for rebellion. The king killed him in the name of Ji Changbuchen, which will definitely disrupt the situation."
If Xiqi does not rebel against his arrangement, your Majesty will be able to sever his flesh with a soft knife. Soon, Xiqi will be seriously injured and will no longer be a threat to our great business. If he rebels, it will be difficult to succeed due to lack of preparation, Your Majesty.
You can also calmly deploy your troops and generals to suppress it."
Di Xin nodded slightly and said: "Now that you have understood my king's purpose, you can send Ji Chang on his way tomorrow."
After being stunned, several people bowed their hands and responded.
After watching the people leave, Di Xin looked behind the screen and said, "Teacher, how close do you think the relationship between Uncle Bigan and the others is to Ji Chang?"
Huang Feihu just didn't want Emperor Xin to get a bad reputation for cruelty because of Ji Chang. Who gave Ji Chang a reputation as a virtuous person? If Emperor Xin killed Ji Chang, in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, he who killed a virtuous minister must be a tyrant.
